Tease  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Gloss clear over transfers.
More paint on weapons and hardpoints.
Canopy frames painted and satin cleared.
Spinning prop made and painted but needs assembly.
Stand built.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

 ;D  ;D  ;D  tease is correct  :lol:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

How does one satin clear an RDO?
Enquiring minds (well, ok - nosey ones) want to know!

That canopy makes it look very 'American'.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

Does indeed  :thumbsup:  Reminds me of a T-28 Trojan in some small ways.

That was the idea.
I did think Trojan wile gluing it on.
I think the rear half could be from a Mustang.  The front, I have no idea,  The moulding for the frames is very soft and clumsy.  I used painted tape on it.

Also looks very like a Bearcat.

Coming along nicely.

The "Miniguns" are 7.62mm and 5.56mm not 20mm.

Ahhhh ..that makes more sense  :thumbsup:
As for the build ...looking sweet mate 👌  ;D
To me Fred it's strangely got a smoothed out Skyraider look to it with that canopy .

Yup, which is why I made the distinction. ;)
